Vortzman: I'm Going to Appeal Decision to Show "5 Broken Cameras" in Schools

Deputy Minister of Education MK Avi Vortzman (Jewish Home) spoke up against the Culture Committee's decision to add the anti-Israel movie "Five Broken Cameras" to the list of movies to be shown in the schools. "The decision to include the film was made professionally by the Culture Committee. However I intend to appeal to the Minister and request that it be re-examined due to the fact that the film has been edited to present a unilateral view under the guise of a being film documentary, and encourages outspoken incitement against the State of Israel and IDF soldiers who maintain the security fence from international anarchists. I believe a film like this does not deserve to be promoted in the school system," Vortzman stated.
